Workshop

The Power of Experiential Learning to Drive Inclusive Mindsets and Behaviors

This workshop will introduce participants to the power of experiential learning and how to properly implement it in support of diversity & inclusion efforts. First, we will discuss what it means to use experiential learning. Participants will then learn how to properly prepare facilitators from marginalized groups and be able to avoid the dangers of poor preparation. Finally, participants will learn how to utilize experiential learning and put it in practice. Lessons from Special Olympics case studies will help the participants build a strong understanding of experiential learning and help them consider how to apply it in their own context to drive inclusive mindsets to inclusive behavior.
